Quote of the Day: "I get ideas about what to buy for others for the holidays from websites with best of lists (like top ten gifts for mom).” –Male, 27, CA Trolls, bullies, flame wars—comment sections online have them all. Is the solution simply to turn off the comments? Cartoons might not just be for kids anymore, but Millennial tastes have reshaped the way that humor in the genre is approached. For Millennials, finances can be a scary concept. In 2015, emojis will get more diverse. Millennials want to save the world on the side, and look for ways to integrate social good into the things they already do. It’s Friday, which means there is probably plenty of news about young consumers that you missed this week. Related:  jaredigital62

Epistemology Epistemology ( i/ɨˌpɪstɨˈmɒlədʒi/; from Greek ἐπιστήμη, epistēmē, meaning "knowledge, understanding", and λόγος, logos, meaning "word") is a term first used by the Scottish philosopher James Frederick Ferrier to describe the branch of philosophy concerned with the nature and scope of knowledge[1][2] and is also referred to as "theory of knowledge". Put concisely, it is the study of knowledge and justified belief. It questions what knowledge is and how it can be acquired, and the extent to which knowledge pertinent to any given subject or entity can be acquired. Much of the debate in this field has focused on the philosophical analysis of the nature of knowledge and how it relates to connected notions such as truth, belief, and justification. The term was probably first introduced in Ferrier's Institutes of Metaphysic: The Theory of Knowing and Being (1854), p. 46.[3] Background and meaning[edit] Knowledge[edit] Knowledge that, knowledge how, and knowledge by acquaintance[edit] Belief[edit]

de LaB The Man Who Wasn't There (2001) - Soundtracks Resonate - Platform for Art and Technology Last day in Belgrade in January 2011 and I receive a call from Maria and Jelena to quickly meet and have a quick chat before I head back to London. One coffee, two coffees and plenty of cigarettes we agree to do a festival – as simple as that. I don’t think I have ever made an important decision so quickly that has cost me endless hours of work but has had such an amazing satisfaction from seeing it through. In a nutshell this is how Resonate came to being. Looking back now at March when we officially launched the festival, all feels like one large blur. For those that might have missed it, Resonate is a new platform for networking, information, knowledge sharing and education. Today we launched Resonate Platform, a new website dedicated to opening a dialogue between Resonate audience and festival participants. 1. Resonate was one long project and it continues to be one.

Anne Frank Annelies "Anne" Marie Frank (Dutch pronunciation: [ɑnəˈlis ˈɑnə maˈri frɑŋk], German pronunciation: [anəliːs ˈanə maˈʁiː fʁaŋk], pronunciation ; 12 June 1929 – early March 1945) is one of the most discussed Jewish victims of the Holocaust. Her wartime diary The Diary of a Young Girl has been the basis for several plays and films. The Frank family moved from Germany to Amsterdam in 1933, the year the Nazis gained control over Germany. Otto Frank, the only survivor of the family, returned to Amsterdam after the war to find that Anne's diary had been saved, and his efforts led to its publication in 1947. Early life Frank was born Annelies or Anneliese Marie Frank on 12 June 1929 in Frankfurt, Germany, the second daughter of Otto Frank (1889–1980) and Edith Frank-Holländer (1900–45).

Pay-Per-View Football? BSkyB's Now TV is a Game-Changer It was a long time coming, but BSkyB finally announced a launch date for its online, pay-as-you-go TV service. It will be available in the UK from tomorrow, July 17. As we noted earlier today, Now TV poses a huge threat to the likes of LoveFilm and Netflix, with its fairly extensive collection of movies available either on a per-play basis starting at £0.99, or through an affordable-but-not-cheap £15 unlimited monthly pass. But it’s worth focusing on the other big elephant in the room. In addition to the football, this means you’ll also be able to tap England Test cricket, Heineken Cup rugby, ATP tennis and the golf Masters from Augusta. While it was already known that Now TV would include the English Premier League, there hasn’t been too much of a song-and-dance made about it thus far. The casual fan Football is the most watched sport in many parts of the world, and the UK is no different. The committed fan Sky Sports is such a lucrative product for BSkyB. The future of football

Din legendele dacilor: Zâne şi zei la cetatea Feţele Albe Apr 22, 2013 Atunci când istoria e năpădită de buruieni, ră­mân poveştile. De ani buni, peste 50, ce­ta­tea dacică Feţele Albe a fost lăsată în grija lăs­tărişului tânăr, a tufelor de mure, a urzicilor şi a mes­tecenilor pitici, iar din zidurile ei, încă albe, încă vii, au pornit şer­peşte, spre lumină, rădăcinile fagi­lor ti­neri. Istoria a rămas ascunsă sub pământ, iar datele con­crete, pu­ţine, vorbesc de tehnica de con­struc­ţie “murus dacicus”, întâlnită la toate fortificaţiile dacice din Mun­ţii Orăştiei, de blocurile de calcar, de terasele stratificate, de sanctua­rul circular, mistuit aproape în întregime de flăcările cucerito­rilor ro­mani. Zeiţa Bendis, zei­ţa Lunii, a pă­durii, a nopţii, zeiţa magică a pămân­tului şi a fertilităţii, zeiţa dra­gostei şi a farmecelor. Cetatea ascunsă Tăcerea. Învăţase vreme îndelungată să tacă, să se bucure în taină de asta, deşi fu­sese greu, poate cea mai grea încercare pe care trebuia să o de­prin­dă aici, în cetatea femeilor alese. Ochi.
